Invidious Ignoramus Yet quarter the speed, even less handling, even less brakes, and far less balls required. Cars are great for towing bikes to race tracks.
What a gorgeous Rx7! Everything from the paint, and body-kit, to that super tuned NA Wankel. Something about that unique Rotary sound puts a big grin on my face every time I hear it. When they are tuned just right they sound like possessed helicopters from hell.
Thanks Nathaniel, that is greatly appreciated. And we hope you like this second version of the video and notice the improvement compared to to the first one ;)
Ha! Wow that was great.. its great to see such a beautiful pristine classic driven on the absolute edge....!!!😆 not just kept in a garage...brilliant. love these cars so much...👍🏻
Watching the old grinding dust float around on the floor just gives you a better idea of the G forces and the sudden changes that occur on the way up the track.
One of these went past the drive thru of my part time job😂 all i could smel was fuel for a solid 4 minutes it was a streetcar too! i can only imagine how much a race spec one would burn through
A violent ride for sure. The power band of a rotary is akin to driving a Tesla with a light switch for a throttle. More than one seasoned driver was embarrassed by the twitchy throttle, stiff clutch, and narrow shift gates of my FC.
It's a big ported natcho twin rotor with a button clutch, there is no ease on the throttle option. The gas pedal might as well be a switch. He might be fanning the gas to aid turn in.. Or he might just be having fun. :)
im a big time fan of these group c cars like this rx7 fb!! I wonder if you could also get this same kit or not. I believe that Rocket Bunny or Liberty Walk has their own kits that is literally inspired on this one if I'm not wrong (please let me know). Anyways, I'm really really obsessed with track oriented vehicles like endurance and time attack racing!!
These old RX7s are absolute monsters!
And the nice thing is that the rotary is a german build but madza optimized it
@@b5zerker636 german designed, the rotary engines in these cars were made in japan , i own one ;)
Yea they are but i dont knkw if they came with 3 rotors did they??

Proof that all you need is 330 bhp and an old lightweight car.

330HP for an FB3S is actually massive

What a beauty.She's a handful and damn fast from looks of it.What a machine,driven the way it should be driven.
Love how easily it started up - beautiful car all around
Why......why do I fall in love so easily.....i wish I wasn’t broke and could afford at least a regular 7.

Rx8s are dirt cheap. Eventually they will be classics
I love the sound of a ported rotary at idle. Reminds me a lot of certain liter bikes.

Driving in that sun glare must be a pain! Nice car. Sounds great
HELL YEAH!! That was fun to watch 🤗.. Awesome driving and great reflexes.. 👌👏 Thats one mean Rx7..
The original of this video is what made me subscribe to this channel. Love this car and this channel!

2:26 had me applauding out loud!!! Virtually never happens whilst watching videos :D :D :D
I have two fb's hanging out in my yard. Really motivating me to get on with finishing at least one. Really awesome video!
Might not be the fastest time up the hill but it's by far the best looking and most exciting
Thats one crisp sounding 13b sounds tuff and solid
It sounds refined as well! And it's what makes it sound so sexy rather than the shitty ass BRATATATATATATATATATSJWLWBDJWHA you hear on other videos

Wicked car, and driving. From 1 Barrett to another if in doubt flat out! Awesome 👍🏁
Love watching all the dirt on the floor to his just fly side-to-side as the car turns.
I had a bad evening and this is just what I needed to cheer me up, and it did.
I'd love to see the run on-board in one cut, then the external footage :)
Other than that, damn this car is angry
Such a wonderful car.
The SA RX-7 was so pretty...simple and sleek.
Oh my god, this thing is perfection
Man that air box is awesome!
Love the sound of that bridgeport
Who in their right mind would dislike this!? 😒
Ls swap enthusiasts we imagine...
Some drag racing boy
The people who know they couldn't handle it or keep up with it in their 500 bhp modern shit boxes.
If they even have a car.
Mean rotor, I can do without the ‘racing’. Just the start up, idle and some reviving was more than enough.. that hills drive killed it.
that thing wants to fly.....so much torque all weight reduction HELL YEAH!
i’m genuinely convinced rotary’s r the superior motor for track
tHIS IS A VERY WELL EDITED VIDEO!
Gotta love the way they used 30 year old video cams for the external shots, just to give it that authentic feel.
But srsly, great vid. :)
What a flippin save dude!
She's a handful!......
I love it!
What an uncontrollable beast
The body kit on your SA RX7 looks like a RWB KIT KINDA nice rx7
If only mr. Felix Wankel could see this. He would be joyful........
Ah the sound of an angry wasp hive stuck in bicycle spokes. Love it !
That thing looks absolutely terrifying to drive. I wanna have a go.
Knew it was kiwi as soon as saw personalised plate! There's a crew, in town I live in, that's been developing a 6 rotor engine!
Rod Millen driveway
#goals
It's a regular LEGO engine. Just keep stacking.
I love hearing that idling noise
Suspensions settings looks a bit stiff on uneven surface road
What a save
0:37 There is so much room that you can put a 3 rotor engine bedside the 2 rotor engine in there.
Can you make a videos or give me details on how you put those side mirrors on a fb.
Looks like Hard Work!
She's more than a hand full!
Man can steer ! Beautiful car !
Excellent driving
BEAUTIFUL.
I don't like rotaries that much, but this thing is really nippy. Would be a lot of fun to drive
Rowdy rotary. Looks like a real race car, light and bouncy and responsive. Hard af to drive. Haha
This is perfection !!
That was some intense driving!
that engine bay is cleaner than my kitchen lmao
what a nice car
Please start including the full onboard video in the end... I love trippin on those when I'm high as fuck. :(
There was an "oh shit" moment, but what a great video!
That man drivin the hellllll of that rx
Great save!
Seems real jumpy, a little softer springs maybe?
OH MY GOSH.
ITS A ROT ARY
one hell of a ride. ❤️
Again light weight and the right amount of hp is all you need
awesome car, love the sound of rotary!
Engine sounds so so so good cars a beast
Beautiful!
I so miss my rotary 😢😢😢
Caisse magnifique , bon pilote , le kiff !!!
BEAUTIFUL car!!!!
To much fun !
That is one good driver.
That things looks like an absolute driving nightmare.
Man that thing rips! And it looks badass too.
Damn that’s a beast!

And driving any car is akin to knitting next to riding.. I’ve seen many car drivers embarrassed by thinking they are capable of riding a moped.
Is it broken ? I can feel the vibration even on my monitor.
I don’t understand the bump of throttle mid corner ? Seems counterproductive .
It's a big ported natcho twin rotor with a button clutch, there is no ease on the throttle option. The gas pedal might as well be a switch. He might be fanning the gas to aid turn in.. Or he might just be having fun. :)

Group C kits are the best on the Fb
That was at the same category as 787B? And all other group C monsters of that age?
I think they were going for the Australian Group C touring car class of the 80s which had RX7s in it.
I wonder if thats what the "C" in sa22c stands for.
Wild af!
Nearly binned it at the end there!

very lively car things awesome
Driving that thing on such narrow roads at such high speeds looks *downright scary.*

High speeds? I would catch and pass him on a stock 450 with mortard tyres.
Even the dog's like 'what's up?'
Brap brap brap
Noob question. How to raise hp on naturally aspirated rotary? On a piston engine you could raise the compression, change the cam, etc....
More porting, more tuning, nitrous.
Porting, soooooo much porting
Keep throwing money in its general direction.
Ya his idea is better, find a rotary builder and tell him to take your money. Like, all of it.
